The free, public talk, “Return to the Land of the Dragons: A Veteran’s Quest for Freedom from the Past, Emotional Liberation, Mutual Forgiveness,” will begin at 4 p.m. in Chao Auditorium, Ekstrom Library. The lecture, previously set for Feb. 17, was rescheduled because of weather.
Moryc, based in Nashville, Tenn., has wrestled with post-traumatic stress disorder and participated in group and individual therapy to deal with wartime memories that began with his 1968 arrival in Vietnam at age 20. He returned to the country decades later with longtime friend David Horvath of Louisville and documented the visit through photography.
